Working
A little old lady just came into the shop after a baby present. I showed her the dearest little rattle. She turned her nose up at me and said 'you want me to buy THAT'!!!!
*sigh*

The Easter Show
Whilst I would have liked to have missed the crowds and leave home at 8am the fact that Stef was coming with us meant a 10:30am start. The alcoholic fumes as she arose led me to know she had been out, what I wasn't aware of till after it was over, was the fact that Charlotte was up for the day when Stef came home.
Nonetheless Stef rallied at 10 but was slightly weary on the bus
The girls were beside themselves with the all the action at the cattle yards
The owner of this cat wasn't particularly impressed when I asked her what happened to the cats nose. We couldn't stop laughing at this breed of cat, it looks like it has gone head first into a plate of glass!!
We are tired and exhausted and I am never going again. Well not with somebody under the age of 20.

There's a Mouse in The House
Dear Stephanie,
Thank you so very much for rescuing the tiny mouse from the ferocious jaws of Harley. I am going to be honest with you and tell you I did not really appreciate you then putting the mouse in a half empty box of my (good) tissues and then putting that box on top of the ironing board so as the cat would not find the box and the mouse.
I did, however, appreciate you then moving the box with the mouse in it when the cat very quickly found it. (I still can't believe though that you ignored my near nervous break downs every time I had to walk past the box with the mouse in it).
I don't appreciate (nor will your sister) the fact that you then moved the box with the mouse in it to your sister's bedroom and shut the door so the mouse could then die in peace and quiet.
I did, however, appreciate the fact that you promised to get rid of the box with the mouse in it by first thing this morning.
so..............
WHAT THE F^%$ IS THE MOUSE STILL DOING IN MY HOUSE????????????????
Love your very unhappy Mother.

First Anniversary
It's been a year.
On April 5th 2008 he passed away from Motor Neuron Disease. Without a doubt the most hideous disease that can inflict someone. A year after diagnosis he passed away after the bravest fight. In fact we had trouble getting him help as he kept bragging how well he was doing, that he could still get himself dressed even though it took him 1 1/2 hours. How we shuddered when he kept driving!!
Poor Suey was the one that had to keep going to the Chinese butcher to get meat for the cats because no other butcher had cuts of meat that were good enough for the cats.
Up until the end he was the bravest person I have ever met.
When he was first diagnosed he said to me my greatest fear is being unable to move and having you girls sitting around me, talking non stop and not being able to tell you to shut up. Then when the end was in sight and he was drifting away, we were sitting around him talking non stop, I asked him if he wanted us to shut up and go outside, he said no I love looking at your beautiful faces.
It is one of life's weirdest privileges to be with somebody when they take their last breath.
